(INSIDE EDITION) A concerned mom in Australia learned the importance of vaccinations for young children in a nightmare no mother should experience, and is using her heartbreak to bring awareness to others.

Sandra Tee began to worry when she heard her five-week-old baby, Heidi, cough softly from inside the nursery. The cough seemed minor, however, Tee’s worry soon turned to fear.

“It seemed like a small and insignificant cough," Tee told InsideEdition.com. "But when my daughter became really sick with apneas, it happened extremely quickly."
